1 3 BIG KAHUNA (CG177) B Prebble PC-/B2 Held inside running in midfield and travelled kindly throughout, responded well and came through a gap on the inside, led inside 200 M and was nicely on top at the end.
2 1 FAST GO (CJ181) C K Tong B/TT Soon crossed to the fence behind runners, not helped by the steadying tempo in middle stages, into clear after 250 M, ran on for a never nearer 2nd.
3 12 MAXIMUM CHARM (CJ056) G Cheyne B Even break, settled in a 2-wide position ahead of mid-division, made steady headway inside 250 M, stayed on but never threatened the winner.
4 10 OPTIC KING (CE139) S K Sit SR/CP/TT Rushed to a forward position, always prominent but travelled 3-wide without cover, hard driven in straight and kept to his task throughout. Had every chance but not able to reach the winner.
5 5 DAILY DOUBLE (CK043) B Doyle SR Broke well but dropped back to find cover behind midfield, inconvenienced by the steadying tempo in middle stages, switched out 350 M but not pace to seriously challenge.
6 7 LUCKY DRAGON (CD322) M L Yeung B2/TT Awkwardly away, couldn't muster early speed and ended up towards the rear 4 to 5Ls back, not helped by the slow tempo in middle stages, made some progress inside 250 M but offered little threat.
7 4 WITHALLMYHEART (CE268) M W Leung TT Up with the early pace, moved up to race outside the lead passing 800 M, led early in straight but found nothing under pressure over the final 200 M.
8 8 KING'S CHOICE (CG040) O Doleuze -- Bustled along after the start to be on the heels of the leader, hampered by the slackening tempo near 1000 M and inclined to hang out, not quicken in straight and outpaced passing 200 M.
9 2 FEEL-SO-GOOD (CG056) D Whyte CP Fractious in stalls, missed the break and lost many lengths, made up the lost ground gradually but still last turning in, taken wide to challenge but made limited headway only.
10 6 GIANT BLIZZARD (CJ171) W M Lai SR Dropped back to 2nd last on jumping from a wide barrier, gave little response when driven out 250 M. No impression.
11 11 MAGIC PRACTITIONER (CK125) T H So B/TT1 Taken back to a rearward position, hampered by the slow pace and became unsettled, had 6Ls to make up inside 400 M but found very little off the bridle.
12 9 MOUNT SURPLUS (CH122) K C Leung -- Soon in front, hugged the rails led them slowly, driven from 300 M but not quicken, weakened rapidly over the final stages.
